TODAY IS THE FEAST OF ST. JOHN BOSCO
St. John Bosco: “When deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction” (Job 7:14). God has revealed things to men in dreams throughout time. In the Bible we read many stories of how God spoke to His people through dreams. He revealed to Joseph that Mary was …
TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
This morning I asked my
co-worker for a wake up call if I didn’t call him by 11AM. This was our
conversation:
Me: Hey, it’s me.
Him: Are you awake?
Me: What do you think? I’m
not a somnambulist.
And I have enough problems with
people who think I’m psychic.

Having trouble breathing--probably a hiatal hernia but I have been advised to get it checked out now and not wait until my next month's follow up.

TODAY IS THE FEAST OF ST. TIMOTHY
St. Timothy: Born at Lystra, Lycaenia, Timothy was the son of a Greek father and Eunice, a converted Jewish woman. He joined St. Paul when Paul preached at Lystra replacing Barnabas, and became Paul’s close friend and confidant. Paul allowed him to be circumcised to placate the Jews, since he was the son of a Jewess, and …

THE FEMININE CARE SECTION OF CVS IS MYSTYFYING IN ITSELF.
And this is coming from a woman. I actually saw home paternity test kits. Never had the need for that but if I did I think I'd go elsewhere for it.

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN
Should Parents Be Allowed In Church?: This month The Great Children In Mass debate was reopened across Catholic Internet Land. I believe it all began with Tommy Tighe’s “Letter To The Lady Annoyed By My Kids At Mass.” Boom. The Internet exploded. Having slogged through the various articles and, more distressingly, the comments beneath, I think there is a certain disconnect …

WHY MILLENNIALS BECOME CATHOLIC
Why Do So Many Millennials Become Catholic?: Why do so many millennials become Catholic? It’s not because they’re hipper than thou, and it’s certainly not because they’re holier. Michelangelo’s writhing, unfinished statues of slaves, struggling in their prisons of stone, are a picture of millennial converts to Catholicism: broken and banished from Eden, stuck in the fallen flesh of Adam, yet baptized …

GUILTY AS CHARGED
Taming the Tongue: 10 Fatal Abuses of Speech: Saint James warns us that we should be slow to speak and quick to listen. The Imitation of Christ asserts that few have ever regretted refraining from speaking. On the other hand, many regret having opened their mouths when they should have kept them shut. Still more, Jesus warns us that every word that comes forth from our mouth we …

WE ARE ALL G-D'S CHILDREN

Sharing Mercy with Fallen Away Catholics: Every single Catholic knows someone who has left the Church for one reason or another. The reasons for their leaving the Eucharistic Supper are varied, some are complex, some are superficial, but all are linked with pride. The antidote for pride is humility, but before humility can come, an individual must come to know why …

She grew into …

And how are you doing

I answered “have you
grown any more hair? Send photo.”

MATTERS OF THE HEART, OTHER BODY PARTS, TOO
Saw Dr. P yesterday. Lungs are clear, O2 sats normal, blood pressure slightly high and he's ordering an echo. In other words no big whoop, until I got came down with what was probably food poisoning about ten hours later. Had to leave home early--the first time I've had to call in sick unplanned since 2013.

I WISH I COULD INTERNALIZE THIS
Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility: As the novel shows, the corruption of sense in the form of prudent self-interest leads to marriages based solely on money, and the corruption of sensibility in the form of license leads to elopement, seduction, and children out of wedlock. Both attitudes destroy the ideal of marriage that forms the basis of civilization in Austen’s …
I admit I am almost all sensibility, but fortunately it has not resulted in "elopements" or "children out of wedlock."

I am down 33 pounds since the fall of 2012. At that point my blood pressure was so low at least two doctors talked about putting in a pacemaker. Not sure how much I've dropped just in the last week--having one person and one pig sick helped.

“Looking at you tonight... knowing everything that's been
taken away from you. A chance for motherhood and your health and that baby. I
think that...I don't know, maybe they're right…maybe what they say is true,
though for all the wrong reasons. It's the personal costs that are too high.
There’s so much more you need to do with your life. There's so much more than
this. There has to be an end, Scully.”
David Duchovny
I could have got married--there were at least two guys who would have married me. They say the greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother. Conversely, the greatest gift a woman can give her children is to love their father. But I am looking for more in a man than a meal ticket or a sperm donor, which may have been a mistake. And I can think of at least three men for whom I would have ditched it all and taken some crappy government PR job, even moved to Mississippi. None of them wanted to marry me. So here I am. As Dave Davies said, "it was a pretty good scene, man." Or as I told Bobblehead about lesbian sex, it is what it is.
